problem with split-view of script editor
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
here's what I'm seeing in a script editor window where I chose the split
view, so that the top half shows the beginning of the script and the
bottom half shows the end:
I type in the lower half, but I have auto-suggestions activated, and
whenever a suggestion pops up, the focus of the upper half also moves to
the same place. So the purpose of the split-view is made obsolete.
This is the latest snapshot on Windows 11. Do you also see this on Linux?
thanks

accessing named matrix columns
by Cottrell, Allin
It strikes me that in some cases it might be convenient to be able to
extract a column from a gretl matrix that has column-names attached by
name rather than column-number. The primary case I have in mind is a
matrix returned by a function (or in a bundle returned by a function),
where the columns basically represent series. So, given
matrix M = some_func(some_args)
series some_name = M[,4]
one could do, say,
matrix M = some_func(some_args)
series some_name = M[,"forecast"]
Any thoughts on this? If the idea seems attractive I can see about
implementing it.

About Package: yahoo_get 3.9 (2026-01-20)
by yinung@Gmail
Hi,
There appears to be a strange error related to the function package
GUI in *Package:
yahoo_get 3.9 (2026-01-20)* for *gretl 2026a*.
When I run the following script, everything works correctly:
nulldata 1000
setobs 5 2022-06-01 # a daily dataset should already be in place
delete index
series apple = yahoo_price("aapl") # get Apple, adjusted price only
list L = yahoo_full("msft")
However, when I access the same functionality through the GUI (as shown in
the attached file), I receive the error message:
*"Argument 1 (ticker) is missing."*
I conducted quick tests on versions *2025a* and *2025b*, and no such error
occurred.
However, version *2025c* also produces the same error message:
*"Argument 1 (ticker) is missing."*
Is there something changed since the version 2025c?
best regards,
Yi-Nung
